v Rags away

[KunDB]

Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Phillips, Gundogan, Grealish, Laporte, Alvarez, Gomez, Palmer, Lewis

That is probably our strongest starting 11 without stones and Dias, though surprised Laporte is on the bench.

C'mon City

[gavin]

Yeh, thought Laporte would be playing.

Play like your life depends on it. No prisoners.

[Stephen Paul]

Big game
Hopefully we are back to our best today

[Stephen Paul]

Hopefully we won't miss Stones today

[Stephen Paul]

Need to up the tempo

[KunDB]

We have controlled most of the game. Utd parked the bus hitting on the break.

Need Foden to hug the left line keeping wide creating space. Fred man making KdB.

[gavin]

How many times is that Malacia going to come through the back of Mahrez without being booked? How did he not give a foul on Mahrez by Casemiro at the end?

City can play so much better but we're the only side playing attacking football. The rags playing on the break at home again.

[bbk]

United made the best chances. They are playing the team in front of them very well.

We need to get Haaland off and see how we go with a false 9 in there to tip the midfield back in our favour, especially with KdB being marked out of it.

[Stephen Paul]

Referee showing his colours

Every time Mahrez gets the ball he is fouled

[gavin]

City shouldn't be kicking the ball out of play for Rashford being injured. Let the ref stop it if it is a head injury but otherwise carry on.

[KunDB]

Two clear penalties waved frantically away by Stuart Atwell. Cheating.

Go Jack Go.

[bbk]

Holy God. That cannot be a legal goal..?

[bbk]

That one is fine. Playing with 10 men, asked for this.

[gavin]

That first goal of theirs was offside. That is an absolutely farcical decision. That ball was played to Rashford who was offside. He shielded the ball. How on earth is he not interfering?

[Hesperus]

I haven't been this pissed off with City for asking time.

[KunDB]

Clearly offside. Rashford protecting the ball from Akanji getting it

Officials were awful and totally biased.

3 penalties not given.

[gavin]

Honestly, I despair of the offside rule if that isn't offside. There can be no question that Rashford is interfering with play. Foul after foul after foul unpunished by the ref.

[Hesperus]

We were shite.

Big loss that; major implications for the season. Top 4 at risk I would say. Something badly wrong with the team.

Livid.

[Stephen Paul]

Some woeful decisions today against City but we let them back in it too easily

[Stephen Paul]

Missed big Stones at the back
